[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure these offices are all in Tysons Corner, but they're at least in Fairfax County- in office parks.  What Arlington has that Tysons Corner will never have is proximity to DC.  People want to be able to get into their cars and drive to DC quickly, which you cannot do from Tysons Corner.  I worked in Tysons Corner for years and could not stand it.  I felt trapped out there and the reverse commute to my home in DC was a nightmare.  If you like to shop every weekend, yes it's a dream location and by all means live there- that's just not my thing.  [/quote]

You are missing the point...people won't need to commute to DC as Tysons will be an edge city unto itself...you can live/work/play there with no need to go to DC. It might be difficult, but try to forget what Tysons looks like today, check out the Fairfax County urbanization plans and open your mind just a little. People had these same reactions about Arlington back in the day. [/quote]

Nah.  There is no SanFRan east or Manhattan south, etc.  the cities always stay the hub.  As much as Arlington has transformed, it still isn't DC.  Is the Smithsonian and White House relocating to Tyson's city?  [/quote]

Hmmm...what about Brooklyn, Silicon Valley...these places have grown up and are destinations unto themselves...no one considers them replacements to Manhattan/SF, and no one will consider Tysons a replacement of DC but it will still be a desirable location on its own merits. Good grief, this concept is not that difficult to grasp....get over your DC snobbery[/quote]
